Fruit Tree Pcddlers.-An exchange

The season has arrived when the farmer mty
expect TO be assailed by the fruit tree peddler,
who viii carry With him q collection OF
plates, Illustrating. in very attractive way
the fruit Of the tree1 he processes to sell
With regard to the cherry, it IS probable he
will have in his pocket a small bottle of the
fruit greatly swollen by the liquid in which
they are preserved. They look well in such
bottle and ore is often tempted to order a
tree or two, but nothing is known as TO the
quality of the fruit. \ bunch of grapes is
especially captivating as picture, and so it
IS with the apple and pear; but woe to the
person that puts asyh in the belief that from
any order he may giys he will be sGPplied
with the fruit trees, grapes cherries, etc he
may order. These orders are aot delivered
by the perambglatsag ageas, bat come either
by mail, as may be the case with grapes and
strawberries, or BY express TO the nearest
town OF railroad station, And if you shall
receive what you have ordered, or if the

Oyster Gardening.-The Baltimore Sun
recently published letter from North Caro-
lima, on oyster cultivation in that State, and
give7 an interesting account Of the practical
results obtained in the ''oyster garden
method Of planting which has been practiced
there. The oyster reservations are fenced in
like gardens with rails nailed to posts, but
the sorrespon lent thinks the system objec-
tionabe because it creates onstructions to
navigation and affords no real protection to
the planter from the depredations Of oyster
thieves The public sentiment in North Car
DINA, unlike the feeling in some portions OF
Maryland is so strongly in favor Of planting
that it is thought there will be little, ifany,
difficulty in securing a general recognition Of
individual property rights in oyster lots ana
in enforcing the law for their protection -
North Cardinals oyster territory capable is Of
producing oysters without cultivation is com
paratiyely small, and for This reason, proba
bly,, the efforts Of Lieut.. Winsow to create an
intelligent public interest in oyster planting
